Transportation from the City Center to Bogota Airport
You can use taxi or public transportation to reach El Dorado International Airport, which is 11 km from Bogota city center.
Minibuses named Buseta are quite common and economical. It is possible to reach Bogota Airport by taking the bus labeled "Aeropuerto" on Calle 19, which is very close to La Candelaria. In addition, airport buses pass through the main street named Avenida 26.
One of the alternatives used to reach the airport from the city center is the municipal buses with the line number P500. Cash payments are not accepted on these buses. The kiosks and newsstands in the city center sell tickets. However, the easiest method is to buy Tullave Card. It takes an average of 50 minutes to reach the airport with the P500 buses from the city center. This time may vary depending on the traffic situation.
Another public transportation option is Transmilenio's K10 buses. You can take this bus to the Portal El Dorado stop and reach Bogota Airport with the airport's free green bus Alimentador. Depending on the traffic, it may take 45 minutes to go from Bogota city center to Bogota Airport by bus, but it is a much more economical method than a taxi.
Also, taxis in Bogota are known to be unsafe, so it's wiser to opt for reliable apps like Uber rather than taking a taxi from the street.
Transportation from Cartagena Rafael Nunez International Airport to Cartagena City Center
Cartagena Airport is located 6 km from the city center and transportation options include buses, minibuses, taxis and Uber. Getsemani historical city center is the most central place where places to visit in Cartagena are gathered, so most travelers' hotels are located on this side.
You can easily get to Getsemani from Cartagena Airport with the T102, one of the orange and white buses operated by TransCaribe. These buses depart from the airport every 15-20 minutes from 05:30 in the morning until 21:30 at night.
It is possible to go to the city center of Cartagena by taking the T102 from the main street no. 70 just outside the airport. You can buy the ticket directly from the driver, or you can get a local transport card from the airport.
It takes about 20 minutes to get to the city center from Cartagena Airport by bus. When you come to Getsemani, the city center of Cartagena, you need to get off at the Parque Apolo or San Diego stop. When getting on the bus, if you say “Centro” to the driver, he will drop you off at the center.
Taxis are available at Cartagena Airport 24 hours a day, and contrary to rumors, taxis in Colombia are extremely safe. You can get to the city center in 15 minutes with one of the taxis that are waiting as soon as you leave the terminal. Cartagena taxis do not have a meter. Instead, there is a taxi fare vending machine just outside the arrivals terminal. When you enter the address of your destination from the machine, it gives you the fixed taxi fare of that region and prints a receipt. You get into the taxi by showing this receipt to the taxi driver.
Among other taxi-like options, the most used are Cabify and Uber. It is possible to call a taxi from both applications, but the prices are very close to normal taxis and taxi applications do not work very well in Colombia, unfortunately.
Latin American countries also have a dolmuş culture similar to Turkey. Again, you can go to the city center by stopping the collectivo minibuses from the main street outside Cartagena Airport. But it can take up to 1 hour to go to Cartagena city center by collectivo because they are very slow.
Apart from taxi or public transportation options, you can consider the option of private transfer from Cartagena Airport. Although the price is higher than other options, it is a very comfortable transportation method to be met by someone waiting with your name when you leave the arrivals terminal and taken directly to the hotel. There are many companies that provide private transfer services from Cartagena Airport, the fees vary according to the type of vehicle desired, but all of them have air conditioning and water.
